I Believe.

When I was a teenager, I often tried to hide myself from every one and not show myself to the Universe as I was, indeed. I always had these words in my mind: “You are not enough good to…, you are not experienced enough to…, you are not great enough to…” Oh God! I even don’t want to remember.
Five years ago, I entered in to one of the best state universities in Iran and I still had these words in my mind. These words influenced me every day and my life was so miserable. I had no idea how to change and how to make my life better.
One day, just for a second, I looked around myself. I had nothing but some negative friends, some horrible attitudes about life and pessimism about people. I didn’t know what I wanted from this world. However in the university, the field of my study was Russian language, which means I was meant to be an interpreter and translator. It was hard for me but when I started to understand, I started to cut out some people around me. I asked myself just one question, what if I started to live a life that was chosen by myself? This question changed my life.
I started to search for the pieces of my broken existence. I talked to many good people such as my parents, my real friends and even my teachers. I understood that I become like the people with whom I live, so I left my negative friends. I started to find successful people around the world. Then I found Rhonda, Jack, Bryan, Cyrus the great, Muhammad, Abu Ali Sina and so many other people. I started to read their about their lives, sometimes more than 100 times. I used their ways to find the real way of success. Now, I often read their sentences and remind myself what I really want.
As the great man Ali said, there are a few that can make themselves like a group of people, behave, live and even see like them but they do not become one of them. I made myself behave like real great people and real translators. I started to read books in English, Russian and Persian. I started to translate free for people. I dressed like great people and I even started to think like them.
Today, I am really famous among my colleagues and friends and I am one the best Persian-English-Russian translators and interpreters in my country. I am also working in one of the best companies in Iran.
Thank you Universe, thank you great people, thank you to my lovely God. I am really feeling nice!
